. MANUFACTURE OF METALLIFEROUS SUL- PHURIZED PHENOL DERIVATIVES Valentin Kartaschofi, Basel, Switzerland, assignor to firm Chemical Works Formerly San-- doz, Basel, Switzerland No Drawingr Application March 9, 1931, Serial No. 521,399, andin Germany March 15, 1930 11 Claims. (01. zoo-1s) It is known that metalliferous sulphurized deinsecticides and as intermediate products for the rivatives of phenols may be prepared by heating manufacture of dyestufis and pharmaceutical phenols with metals of the ammonium sulphide products. I I a andhydrogen sulphide groups and their salts in; The following examples, whilst being not limi- 5 presence of sulphur. and an alkali. 1 1 tative, illustrate the process, the parts being by 60 It has now been found thatsimilar compounds weight: I can be prepared by'heating phenols with sulphur 1 in presence of alkali metal salts of such acids 1 m 4 1 r that contain in the acid residue one or two metals 90 parts of phenol, 30 parts of sulphur, 27 parts 0 of the ammonium sulphide and hydrogen sulof sodium stannate and 30 parts of. water are: phide group, mixed together and heatedfor 40 hours at-a Such alkali metal salts are for instance alkali temperature of about 130 C. The obtained thick. metal-stannates, -sulphostanna'tes, -antimonites, paste :after cooling. down to 100 C. is treated -sulphantimoniates, -py'ro antimonites, -alumiunder good stirring with a solution'of .partsof nates, -arsenites, -arseniates, -chromates, -plumsodium carbonate in 300 parts of water and boiled, 1 bites, -vana dates, zinkates, -molybdates and the whereby it is completely dissolved." The solulike and also oxygenand sulphur-containing tion is allowed to cool down andthe condensation complex salts like luteo-sodiumarsenosotungstate, product is isolated by salting out and "is then sodium-chromimolybdate or double-salts condried. 1 l

On addition to its dilute solution of products such as chlorophenols, phenolsulphonic dilute acetic acid no precipitation occurs, but on .acids, phenol-carboxylic acids, resorcine and addition of mineral acids the freethioacid pre- 0 others, naphthols and their substitution prod cipitates in form of a. yellowprecipitation.

To carry out the improved process mixtures The new product possesses the propertyto-proconsisting of phenols, sulphur and -alkalimetal' tect wool againsttaking up substantiveand acid salts of the above cited'metalliferous acids are dyestufis and may alsobeused instead of tannin heated in presence or in absence of water or suitfor fixing basic dyestuffs on textile fibresorsubable organic solvents, whereby a strong evolustrata. 1 tion of hydrogensulphide takes place.

Example 3 V A mixture consisting of 90 parts of phenol, 64-

parts of sulphur and 41 parts of sodiumaluminate is heated for 24 hours under a reflux condenser at 180-210 C. The obtained thick mass is dilutedfrom the solution in the :usual way. 7

In dry state it constitutes a brownish-olive powder easily soluble in cold water to a clear yellowish-brown solution. On addition toits dilute aqueous solution of dilute acids the free thioacids are precipitated in form of greyish flocks;- with ferrichloride it yields a reddish black and when treatedwithbromine-a brownish black precipitation. w

The new product possesses the property of becomingfixed on .cellulosic fibres Without dyeing them and to act, as mordant for basic dyestuffs.
